Food - Prime aged beef. That is what we had for dinner Sunday night, along with grilled asparagus and a baked potato. It was another gorgeous day out, 67 degrees in Minnesota, and a fine day to grill. We bought some prime aged steaks and used: DUB'S RUBS, "A Cut Above" Seasoning on them before grilling.


Dish - Speaking of prime, I feel as though I have entered "My Prime." Here are things I like about aging, aside from getting married and having a family.

I like:

• Who I am.
• Peace of mind.
• Not being afraid to try things I would have been afraid to try before.
• Confidence.
• Healthy self-esteem.
• Wisdom.
• Having a zest for life.
• Knowing what I want, and not being afraid to ask for it.
• Being a sponge and soaking up everything.
• Not hearing my mom say: "stand up straight." It paid off, I must say, I have good posture.
• Knowing life is a journey and enjoying the ride.
• Having less angst over small things.
• Knowing that I don't have to like everyone, but I do have to respect them.
• Not having to be all things to all people.
• Not having to have a spotless house. Do you really need to eat off the floor?
• Sex. (I said, aging.)
• Seeing the beauty in everyone.
• Wanting to be the best that I can be.
• Religion.
• Wanting to vote. (Please vote today!)
• Watching CNN, Food Network, Good Morning America, etc..... and talking about the issues with friends.
• Being better off financially.
• Knowing that no matter what, I will survive.
• Having a lot of black outfits to look slimming in.

Things I miss most:

• Sleep, sleep, sleep.
• Having a spotless house, I wish that maid would come.

What are your favorite things about aging?

Embellish - Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.
